Living in this area of New York has been an experience, to say the least. Aside from the residents, the floor creaks, the ceiling leaks, the traffic jams, and that there isn't a single place to get a bite outside of who knows where, its really just a boring experience. Who knows where we are headed as a society if they keep people like these running the show.
